The Japanese army is about to invade the territory in large numbers, and the Dawu Mountain Independent Regiment adopts an active defense strategy.
The so-called active defense means never defending a city or a place, never confronting the enemy head-on, but using the vast space to carry out ubiquitous harassment and attacks, trying to slow down the enemy's progress, consume the enemy's physical strength and energy, and at the same time try to Kill the enemy's effective force, and if the opportunity arises, do not hesitate to focus fire on it!
The specific arrangement is that, except for the 1st Battalion and the machine gun company stationed in Meizhen, the battalions, battalions and cavalry battalions are all spread out in platoon units and scattered on both sides of the road from Feicheng to Meizhen to look for opportunities.
Among them, the special operations unit has the heaviest task, because without the special operations unit providing accurate and timely intelligence, the troops scattered will become blind and deaf. Not only will they not be able to pose a threat to the Japanese, they will also be eaten by the Japanese. Because it’s not that far from Feicheng to Meizhen, and the Japanese can get there in one day without marching at night.
However, during the day, the Japanese had aerial reconnaissance, and it was clear at a glance what the independent regiment was doing.
Therefore, the dispersed troops can only hide and stand by, which adds another arduous task to the special operations team, which is to lure the Japanese.
Not only to provide intelligence support, but also to lure the enemy, the task of the special operations team is not ordinary.
Therefore, Xu Rui decided to personally lead the special operations team to attack. Because Xu Rui has hearing, vision and smell far beyond ordinary people, at this stage, the strength of the special operations team with him and without him is completely different. It is no exaggeration. , Xu Rui's role alone almost exceeds that of the entire special operations team.
However, this move was opposed by Wang Husheng.
"Old Xu, you are just fooling around." Wang Husheng said with excitement, "Don't forget that you are the regiment commander. You are now the senior commander of our New Fourth Army, not the captain of the special operations unit. Yes, reconnaissance of the enemy's situation is important, but this It can be completely left to the veterans and special operations teams, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be done by you, the regiment leader, right?”
"What's right? At this stage, the special operations team really can't do without me."
While Xu Rui was putting on leggings for herself, Taohong wanted to come forward to help several times, but Xu Rui stopped her. Sai Hongfu and Taohong were like sisters, so they could enjoy Taohong's service with peace of mind, but he couldn't Come on, otherwise you wouldn’t really have become a master in the feudal era
Wang Husheng said: "What will happen to the base area after you leave?"
"Isn't there Lao He here?" Xu Rui said, "With Lao He's 1st Battalion here, nothing will happen."
"What I'm worried about is exactly this Lao He." Wang Husheng motioned for Taohong to avoid him, and then lowered his voice, "In the past few days, there have been unidentified mysterious figures coming in and out of He Guangming's camp. Although there is no definite evidence, I am sure , this is the person sent by the Third War Zone!"
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Why, are you worried that Lao He will betray you?"
"Can I not worry?" Wang Husheng complained, "Honestly, you shouldn't have let the 1st Battalion stay. If something goes wrong, the Independent Regiment will be homeless."
Although it is now the second period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and from the current point of view, the two parties are getting along fairly harmoniously, but under the seemingly calm waters, there are actually turbulent undercurrents. Whether it is the Kuomintang or the Kuomintang, they are constantly making moves. , the Kuomintang does not need it, and the Communist Party actually does a lot of poaching the Kuomintang's corners.
For example, Xu Rui's recruitment of the remnants of the 180th Division was poaching the Kuomintang army.
You have to say that if you are in the first grade of junior high school, you can't blame others for being in the fifteenth grade. If Xu Rui poached the Kuomintang, you have to guard against the Kuomintang poaching you in turn. After all, when He Guangming's 1st Battalion joined the Independent Regiment, Not long after that, there was no deep relationship with the other troops in the independent group, so no one dared that they would not betray him.
"There is no chance." Xu Rui said, "I believe that Lao He will not betray."
"Old Xu, are you really so sure?" Wang Husheng asked dumbfounded.
"This is called self-confidence. I have confidence in our independent group." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "No matter who he is, as long as he still has a patriotism, he will never leave again if he joins our independent group."
Wang Husheng curled his lips, but couldn't find anything to refute. He had to admit that Xu Rui's words did make sense.
When the Independent Regiment was still an independent brigade, it had already been marked by Xu Rui. The character of this unit was the same as that of Xu Rui. They both emphasized gratification and grudges, and the life and death dependence between comrades. As long as there was still a patriotic heart, as long as there was still If you have a trace of blood, you will feel extremely happy when you join such a unit, and you will naturally not want to leave again.
While talking, the leggings had been put on, and Xu Rui said: "Okay, Lao Wang, I'm leaving. If you need anything, just send me a telegram and I'll be right back."
Youdao is that the army has not moved, intelligence comes first. Xu Rui has always attached great importance to the construction of the intelligence system. The establishment and development of the intelligence system in the occupied areas requires a long period of operation. Xu Rui has no choice but to rely on the strength of the ** organization. , but the communication between various units of the army can be strengthened as a priority.
In previous battles, the Independent Regiment seized many radio stations. Using these radio stations, Xu Rui set up a communications office. Sai Hongfu, a Central Unification agent, also served as the director of the communications department. There were four communications classes under the communications office. For this sortie, each battalion, battalion and cavalry battalion were equipped with a communications squad.
The remaining one class stayed in Meizhen.
As for the special operations team, there is still director Sai Hongfu.
This kind of communication power, not to mention the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army, is the most elite model unit in the National Revolutionary Army, and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps cannot match it. Only a pervert like Xu Rui can strengthen the communication power to this extent, but even In this way, Xu Ruidu still felt that the communication power was too weak.
Xu Rui is already thinking that after this battle is over, he must hold a radio training class.
Seeing that Xu Rui was determined, Wang Husheng couldn't do anything more and could only send Xu Rui out.
Outside the regiment headquarters, all eight veteran members and three new members of the special operations team have arrived.
Seeing Xu Rui coming out, Leng Tiefeng and the eleven team members immediately put their feet back and stood at attention.
"Don't be so serious." Xu Rui smiled slightly, and the expressions of the eight veteran team members immediately relaxed. After nearly half a year of getting along, they have become accustomed to Xu Rui's style. During training, Xu Rui was a pervert and a beast. He will torture you and abuse you in every possible way, and he can really drive you crazy.
In normal times, Xu Rui is your best friend and most trustworthy brother.
When it comes to fighting, Xu Rui is the best commander and the most ideal comrade-in-arms.
"I won't do it if it's superfluous." Xu Rui chuckled and said domineeringly, "This battle can't be called a battle in the eyes of us Langya. It's just a hunting operation at best. However, this time we want to hunt. "It's not a cunning rabbit, it's a bison, and the only thing we have to do is piss the bison off and lead it into a trap."
Several Lang Ya immediately started laughing. Only the three new team members, Han Feng, Hua Niu and Tiezhu, did not laugh.
Xu Rui waved his hand, and the Wolf Fang team immediately turned around and walked away.
(Dividing line)
"Five days, within five days we must deal with the Dameishan Independent Regiment." Hamura Shuichi stared at the map of Dameishan Mountains in front of him and said to his chief of staff, Nagashin Tatsuya.
Hamura Shuichi was in conflict with the tasks assigned by the front army headquarters.
Although the 101st Division is a newly formed ad hoc division, it is still a field division anyway. Its equipment and organizational structure are in accordance with the standards of a permanent division. In particular, the soldiers of the 101st Division are It is composed of the reserves and reserves of the 1st Division. If the 1st Division is the first-class main force of the seventeen permanent divisions, then their 101st Division is the first-class main force of the newly formed 19 ad hoc divisions!
Therefore, the main divisions like the 101st Division should be used on the frontal battlefield to attack Xuzhou, rather than being split up. One part is used as a guard force, and the other part is organized into an independent detachment to attack Dameishan Independence. Regiment, Hamura Shuichi admitted that Xu Rui was a ruthless character. In previous battles, he had indeed caused great damage to the Japanese army. However, mobilizing an independent detachment to deal with him would be too important to him.
However, Hamura Shuichi will not reveal his inner thoughts easily.
Moreover, now that the order from the Front Army Headquarters has been issued and the Hamura detachment has been organized into an army, these are meaningless. The only thing he should consider now is how to eliminate Xu Rui's Dameishan in the shortest possible time. Independent Regiment, and then he will have the opportunity to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou.
However, Yongjin Tatsuya was not as optimistic as Hamura Shuichi and said: "Detachment leader, the intelligence shows that the Dameishan Independent Regiment is a capable force, and Xu Rui himself is a ferocious and cunning wolf. Although we have the strength and firepower to We have an absolute advantage, but we still can’t take it lightly.”
"Of course." Hamura Shuichi is not a proud and complacent idiot. He can still listen to different opinions. At the moment, "There is an old saying in China, called the lion and the rabbit. Even if you use all your strength, this time to sweep Damei Mountain, Our Hamura detachment must also try our best and never give our opponents any chance of comeback."
"Hai." Yong Jinda also nodded heavily and said, "Detachment leader, all the wings have been in place, and all the combat forces of the aviation corps have been deployed. However, it is already 12 noon. If we set off at this time, It’s getting dark halfway through, and we’re easily harassed by the Chinese army. To avoid unnecessary losses, do you want to set off again tomorrow?”
"No." Hamura Shuichi said flatly, "The so-called military is valuable and quick. The longer we delay, the more fully prepared the China Army will be. Moreover, the Imperial Army has an absolute advantage in strength. Even at night, as long as they do not attack easily, There is no need to worry about harassment from the Chinese army, so there is no need to postpone it until tomorrow, we will set off at two in the afternoon!"
"Hai." Yong Jinda also nodded heavily and took the order.
